What's the difference between the 2414NB and 2414DB? Their descriptions look identical except one says made in USA and the other Made in Japan.

The price. We've been using the NB's for years for scrap metal recycling and had good luck with them.

I am not so sure, however, it could be the ones to be sold in a package deal. (body plus 2 lens = $XXX) Or it may just indicate where the lens is distributed at. The same lens sold in Japan are marked as 0345B001 and the lens sold by CANON USA are 0345B002 but they are both made in Japan. So they could have a different numbers for Europe etc. As long as the lens are made at their facility in Japan they should be same. Some other Canon lens are made at Canon's overseas production lines but are still made to Canon's high quality standards. I hope this will answer to your question.

Hi, this Sony Bluetooth Headset DRB-TN200 and the Japan model DR-BTN200 are just the same on all aspects and specifications. Its just an alternate model number. -Ely

I went to pick mine up after satisfying myself that they were indeed made in Japan. My experience with my old Canon A-20 Powershot convinced me there's a difference. I'd just purchased it (2002 ?) and the next week they introduced the A-40 which offered video as well. Since I was still inside my 30 day return window I picked up the A-40 and compared the two in detail for a couple of weeks. The A-20 was made in Japan and the A-40 was made in Malaysia, or Singapore, or Myanmar. I can't remember exactly. Big difference! Fit and finish was superb on the Japanese version. Poor on the other. In one of the zoom steps I came to see an out-of-focus area where the Japanese version was consistently sharp. I returned the A-40 and kept the A-20. Still works great. Now the 780. I went to Best-Buy to pick it up and at the last second I decided I'd better verify that it was Japanese too. Nope, it was Chinese. I explained my concerns to the checker and requested to examine their inventory for the Japanese version I wanted. Fortunately, I was in luck. There was only one amongst several Chinese examples. I snapped it up and it's been just wonderful. To be completely fair and honest I must confess that my earlier experience with the A-20 may not have any validity today. I didn't do an in-depth comparison between the Chinese/Japanese versions. For all I Know the Chinese version is the superior of the two. I was simply relying on my limited, singular experience. The reviews here at Amazon are pretty accurate. My only issue is the audible noise in video mode. If it's a quiet setting you WILL hear it. Not a problem for me. I use it mostly for dirtbiking, snowmobiling, and boating.

I do not think there is a difference, except the unit without the "BA" designation is sold by a different seller and priced higher than Amazon. I have the unit and would highly recommend it! I purchased mine from Amazon. I own two - one for home one for office. Hope this was helpful!

Could you tell me if the place of origin has anything to do with whether or not Canon will honor the warranty? I was told by a vendor that if a canon camcorder was a "Japanese" model, Canon would not honor the warranty, and that if it was a US camcorder, they would. Is that true and how can you tell if the camcorder you buy is one or the other?

I have already returned this unit and don't remember where it was made. I don't think it was made in the US. The unit I ended up keeping was the Bamix. It's all stainless and made in Switzerland.

Mine is. There's a photograph in Amazon (of the back of the amp) showing it's made in Japan. Maybe the first ones were. Nowadays they're made in China. At least, as I said, mine is.

The product does show 'Made in Japan' so I guess it is true. I can only tell you the batteries lasted a long time. This is the second time I have purchased them through Amazon and they work just fine.

I believe Japan, it was gifted. I have a similar model 7310-05420 since 2005, that's why i purchased another. Works great, disassembly easy to keep it clean.

I have the metric set and they're made in Taiwan NOT China nor are they part of China. Taiwan has better manufacturing and QA/QC practices than China so don't confuse the countries.

In my case, the units were stamped "Made in USA", but Monroe does source some of their products offshore. So it pays to check the parts when you unbox them.

Thanks for your review. I too am looking at this drill specifically for its "Made in the USA" label. I will be sure to ask Amazon before I order it, and will wait until they can send me one that says this, rather than Mexico or China.

The fault of China-made **** imports lies with the US company's specs for the product, and then the US company's quality control. Undoubtedly, it's a much greater chore to write the specs clearly enough and tight enough to eliminate "improvisation", and quality control has to be much more diligent than for US, Japan and western European-made products, but "swallow the greed and do the deed". Otherwise it's "garbage in = garbage out".

Mine was made in Japan but is a almost 5years old now. I hope manufacturing has not moved to China on the new stuff but a gander at a display unit at your local Lowe's will confirm. Their price is twice what you would pay online though but never hurts to look first.

Mine says "Made in Japan." Wonderful tool! Takes the place of a toolshed's population of this and that. Wouldn't be without mine!
